[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake21:
So i'm debating between white and grey; in the store I tend to prefer the white due to contrast the white border makes with the display (on the surface it seems to make the display stand out) but i prefer the grey because it makes the buttons (at bottom) more visible and seems more stealthy. I'm curious if folks who purchased the grey one end up wishing for the white and conversely those who purchased the white if you end up wishing for the grey and why ?

(only other thing I could think that might be material is if the white creates more flare for the camera)

Hii guys.

I need to know that what difference will kernel 3 make on our device?

What is kernel?

Will it make all jb roms to work perfectly after kernel 3 is installed?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Well, I have no idea what kernel meant but I know that kernel control everything inside our phone, from brightness to phone call. Let just say that if our phone doesn't have kernel, probably its dead right now.

The difference of kernel 3.0.X, We don't know yet from the users side, but from the kernel it self, it will fix the most bug our phone has.

For the 3rd, same like above, we don't know yet but I'm sure it work on every CM9/10 ROMs. If you expect kernel 3.0 will work perfectly, nope it still has random crash and battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
1. Kernel is the core of the OS, which mean it let the OS to control the Phone

2. Yes, due to JB rom base on android 4.1 and android 4.1 need kernel 3.x to work full function

So, we need the JB rom work good, we need kernel 3.x, i have a Galaxy W with kernel 3 CM9, it is hell alot faster.

edit, by the way, kernel 3 is not mean to fix the bugs. it is to let the new fuction functioning. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Chethubm:
Kernel is actually the software which acts as an intermediate communicator b/w the phone's 'OS n Hardware'.. So possibly we might get from 3.0

full h/w acceleration

Speed imprvmnt

Finally since ics n later version's r based on kernel 3 there might be some performance improvements..

P.s: frm some linux form I came to know that, there is not much diff b/w kernel 2.6.* & 3.0.*... Linux jst change the no. system. From 2.6 they directly jumped to 3.0.. More info google:):)

I'm seeing a steady 2% maximum for mine... but I wonder if I'm the only one... seems a waste of good storage space on our not that spacey mobiles... right?

You can use link2sd for example to see the storage usage... to what size has your cache partition use grown since your last installation/update/clear?

See attached images as guide.

If you notice my /cache being a lot more full then the 2% I said above: you are correct, I'm testing some alternative use for that beautiful 100Megs :cowboy:

--- Project Info ---

I'm trying to determine if the cache partition can be used for something else or even get merged with the data partition (by removing the cache partition, moving the space toward /data and creating a mount point for a fake cache partition there). If you have any idea why your cache partition is so filled, please post the reason in this thread.

--- Thanks for votes ---

If you vote on the poll and post the reasons for it being so full in this thread I will try to say thanks to every post as my token of appreciation!
[Xperia Arc General] [NUT]:

Script in init.d that moves dalvik-cache from data partition to cache partition.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

In HTC Desire (bravo) section there is lot of posts about repartitioning.

Basically only 5 MB is more then enough (that's according to Cyanogenmod and Oxygen teams).

And download and temp must be redirected to sdcard or asec.

(That's just another script)

Also, custom kernels could manipulate with partition tables. Unfortunate, no kernel developer is interested in this.

I don't like to transfer dalvik because there is 100 MB limitation.

But moving part of data apks could be interesting.

Just mine thoughts.

Kind regards!

Just to show I really mean business :D
[Xperia Arc General] CosmicDan:
Yeah, the only time when cache content would go over a few MB is if they link dalvik to /cache. I think it's better to reduce cache to 8MB (or even 4MB, but 8MB is safer) because if cache is only 100MB and dalvik cache gets full (can happen, with sd-ext scripts you'd only need about ~200 average size apps installed) you start running into a lot of issues. But if you have tiny cache but expanded data, you can just see that data is full = too many apps on internal :)

I've used 8MB cache on my kernels for the past year and not once has anyone reported any issues related to running out of space on cache.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

That's only for stock ROM's, all AOSP-based ROM's (CM, AOKP, etc) and MIUI can autodetect where it should go. CyanogenMod for example has a script that, if cache is above a certain size, then it we redirect system dalvik from /data to /cache. For MIUI it's native PackageManager code.

Just like before GB, Market used to use /cache for temporary download data - but now it goes in /data/data/com.android.vending (or whatever) because so many users complained of download errors when downloading large apps (I remember that myself on the ol' X10 with stock Froyo/Eclair or whatever it was).
[Xperia Arc General] soumya_digi:
I don't have any init.d script for it. I'm using CM10. And as CosmicDan said, the dalvik cache to for system apps gets populated on /cache automatically.

I think that this device will outperform Samsung galaxy grand (21k device)in almost every aspect.

An same HD resolution as s3 + same amount of ram as s3 but lower power+ a quad core but a little less powerfull but more secure than samsungs processors + a 5inch display and most important ->all this in 15k device.
[Micromax A116] Dhiraj:
Don't buy it. 1. From previous A110 battery experience , it is clear that 2100mA battery is not sufficient for multiprocessing system. Although it has same battery config as Nexus 4, but remember the brand name. 2. More than 12000+ in INR, we must expect at least one update . This brand only provide u out of the box os, no OTA. Whereas Samsung like company will provide u a great support.

So either go for grand or wait for 2 months more for next canvas (prob A120) release.

Guys,

Never compare A110 with A116. Both are different in there way. What samsung/Sony/LG is giving in 25K above, MMX is giving it in near about 15K. The person who wants to buy a phone like S2(answer for above posts) will see the difference while comparing to MMX A116. 1280*720 display resolutions(just like my Note 2). quad core processor (unlike S2) 16M color(like both S2 & NOTE 2), IPS Brigh Display(LG is also using this) & last but not the least 1 GB ram(like S2). It has lack of Dev support. Nothing Else. I have tried MIUI Launcher with 50% Brightness on A110 and trust me, it was awesome.

In the end, if anybody want to but a mobile with great features(note premium suites like Samsung) can avail this. Otherwise Pay High & Get high. I m not follower of MMX but i m practical

See the comparison B/W A116 & S2 -> Here & choose your winner

Hi,

Im not new to flashing custom roms, did that before on my Omnia 2. But I'm far from being sn expert.

The last few days I flushed and tried out a few roms, but unfortunately each of them had missing features.

Besides watching lots of videos in youtube I've tried cm10.1, WanamLite5.4 and WanamLite5.5 so far.

The features I'm looking for are :

1) Must : Call recording. WanamLite5.4 had it perfect. A big Record button on the Samsung dialer screen.

2) Must : Flashlight : doesnt matter if the phone is locked, screen off, screen on, etc. As long as Android is up and running I want the camera flash to switch on / off when long pressing the home button.

3) Must : Smart stay feature

4) Must : toggle widgets should never slide (manually or automatically) on the notification screen (cm 10.1 has it perfect )

5) preferred : no custom boot animation, Samsung's is just fine.

6) preferred : new photo sphere cam. Dont know if its possible to install it afterwards.

7) preferred : multi window feature with e.g. whatsapp support (not only specific apps). (Is that even possible ? Does the e app have to be written to support multiple windows feature ?)

8) preferred : root access (afaik some custom roms dont have root access ebabled)

Sorry for asking with a list like that but im far from being an expert and don't want to brick my phone by flushing too many roms.

Any help and link to roms is greatly appreciated !

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciberbeb:
What low storage issue are you talking about?

While most of them are installed on the SD, I have a lot of installed applications (about a hundred) and I still have more than 3Gb available (internal storage).

An SDcard can be used for your pictures/videos/games, up 32Gb (at least).

If you want to root your phone and don't want to unlock your bootloader, then don't upgrade it.

However, depending on the installed firmware, it may be impossible to root without unlocking the bootloader.

Motorola has fixed the root exploit in the last update.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciberbeb:
It depends on the application. Some apps put thier "big" files on the sdcard, some won't.

As emu123 said, you can use an app like Apps2sd to move them from the internal to the external storage.

Even if I install a lot of games, I never ran out of storage. That was the case with my old HTC Desire HD.

Big games can use up to 400Mb, I still have more than 3Gb, which means I can install, at least, 7 big games (but some of them will put files on the SDcard if present). It won't ever happen.

EDIT: I think Apps2sd doesn't work with Android 4.x. Not sure, but I think that the system manages where to install apps when internal storage is full.
